Xiao Mu's Grand Plan

On a small hill in the assessment area, Xiao Mu sat sideways on the back of the Saint Winged Sky Tiger, tossing a few Jade Pendant in his hand.

As the Jade Pendant rose and fell, the gazes of the crowd below fluctuated, their hearts pounding, fearing that the Jade Pendant might shatter and their entrance exam would come to an end.

"I'm not in a good mood right now, and when I'm in a bad mood, I feel like kneading something."

The girl's pretty face was slightly pouting, and her sullen expression was quite adorable. However, the crowd below paid no attention to admiring her; seeing her about to crush the Jade Pendant, they hurriedly called out to stop her.

"No, no, no! Little Miss, please tell us what you need. We'll do everything we can to help you!"

"Make sure you hold onto that thing very firmly!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"..."

The group of young people whose assessment certificates had been stolen were on the verge of tears and hurriedly tried to stop them.

To them, this strange girl was simply eerie.

The Jade Pendant is not only proof of the assessment, but also the last line of defense to protect their safety. If they encounter an insurmountable crisis during the assessment, they can crush the Jade Pendant to transfer themselves out of the assessment area, but this also means that the gates of the Northern Azure Spiritual Academy will be closed to them.

The importance of Jade Pendant is self-evident; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they are one's lifeline.

However, the girl somehow managed to make many people lose their Jade Pendant in a daze, and they all ended up in her hands.

It wasn't that no one had tried to forcibly take it; after all, with so many people around, they could wear her down. But the girl, who was the target of everyone's attacks, simply crushed a few Jade Pendant and sent away a few leading experts. Their fragile alliance, which had been formed temporarily, instantly collapsed, leaving them at the mercy of the other side.

"Very good!"

The group reacted with the trembling of chicks, while the young girl's proud gaze subtly swept towards the large tiger beneath her, only to be met with a helpless look from the latter.

"Don't go too far!"

"Rest assured."

After carefully organizing her thoughts, Xiao Mu turned her gaze to the crowd, mimicking how her mother would speak to her subordinates. Suddenly, the image of a cunning young woman with a young age completely reversed, replaced by an aura of authority that made many people instinctively hold their breath.

"To be honest, I have no interest in eliminating you. With your meager strength, I don't even consider you a threat."

The hurtful words made everyone both angry and happy. They were happy because, judging from this lady's attitude, it seemed that their assessment certificates could be kept.

At the same time, they were also angry that the other party was too arrogant, and her words were full of belittling and contempt for them. They were all geniuses from their hometowns who were able to obtain the qualification for the Northern Azure Spiritual Academy's assessment. Now, however, they were being mocked for their strength by a girl who was about the same age as them, which made them feel a strong urge to fight her one-on-one.

However, this was only an impulse. Given how the other party took away their assessment certificate without a word, there was indeed a slight difference in strength.

If the girl's image in their minds was merely that of arrogance just moments before, her subsequent words left everyone horrified.

"In fact, not only you, but everyone in this assessment is, in my opinion, completely unqualified!"

The girl's arrogant words were almost the complete opposite of her youthful appearance.

Wow!

What a boastful tone! Aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew?

A group of young geniuses sneered silently to themselves, watching with mockery what kind of presumptuous words such a madman could utter.

"So..."

"I believe that the Northern Azure Spiritual Academy does not need so many people."

"I don't care about anyone else."

"But this assessment area..."

"Let's set the number of approved candidates at five thousand."

Five thousand people?!

Everyone's expression changed, and at the same time, they shouted in their hearts:

"Madman!"

As one of the most outstanding academies in the Great Thousand World, countless geniuses from all over the country come to the Northern Azure Spiritual Academy to participate in the assessment every year. Even though the admission threshold has been raised again and again, the number of students admitted to the Northern Azure Spiritual Academy each year is no less than 500,000, given the huge base.

The number of slots, evenly distributed across the ten assessment regions, is a full 50,000!

They never expected that this girl would actually try to reduce the already pitifully small number of people to one-tenth of the original number!

Aren't you afraid of provoking public outrage?

But soon, the group relaxed. There were so many people participating in the assessment, and their group alone numbered no less than ten thousand. To achieve their goal, they would have to eliminate at least half of them. Anyone with a modicum of sense would not act in this way.

Moreover, there are no fewer than a million people in their assessment area alone. To ensure that only five thousand people pass means eliminating more than 99% of the people, which would be impossible even if she worked herself to death.

Furthermore, the elders of the Northern Cangling Academy will observe the entire assessment process and will certainly not allow the situation to escalate. If we can't deal with this girl, can't the elders handle it?

No matter how capable she is, she can't cause any big waves!

Do you all think I'm arrogant and overconfident?

As if they could read minds, the girl opposite them spoke their thoughts in a calm and indifferent tone, as if she didn't care at all.

"But I'm right here, and I'm going to lead you bunch of shrimp soldiers and crab generals to clear out this exam area."

The seemingly casual words struck everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer blow.

"Leave no one alive!"

"Ten thousand people eliminate one million..."

"Do you dare to do it?"

After he finished speaking, the room fell into a long silence.

"Gulp..."

Many people were captivated by this arrogant yet alluring idea, and couldn't help but swallow hard.

To reiterate, they are geniuses from their respective hometowns, young geniuses, the most imaginative and proactive group of people, eager to make achievements and dreaming of doing something earth-shattering.

He made a name for himself in the entrance examinations of the Five Great Academies, earning a place in the college's entrance examination history for future students to admire and for his seniors to look at him with new respect...

Just thinking about it makes one's blood boil!

Xiao Mu, who was keeping a close eye on everyone's reactions, chuckled to himself. As expected of a group of young people, they got all fired up with a little encouragement.

"Of course, it's entirely up to you!"

"I'm too lazy to keep these assessment certificates; you can retrieve them yourselves."

"But let me make this clear: one for each person, no cheating allowed!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand and summoned Jade Pendant of jade pendants, which shimmered dazzlingly in the sunlight before being inlaid on the mountain wall beside him.

The last fire was lit.

"Phew~"

With the assessment certificate in front of them, everyone's breathing became much heavier.

Before long, one person couldn't resist stepping out of the crowd, taking his own Jade Pendant, and returning.

With someone setting an example, the others followed suit. Perhaps due to Xiao Mu's intimidating presence, no riot broke out, and instead, a simple order was maintained.

During this process, many people stayed, while some left. Everyone had their own ambitions, and they were unwilling to take risks with a young girl.

The remaining people looked at Xiao Mu with anticipation in their eyes. If Xiao Mu used the assessment certificate to coerce them into participating in his plan, these geniuses might be quite fierce and willing to fight to the death. Even if they reluctantly agreed, they might turn against him at any time.

But now, for this seemingly delusional plan, more than seven thousand geniuses from all over the world have joined in.

Perhaps the other party is just talking nonsense, or perhaps it's like an ant trying to shake a tree. Their fate might be betrayal, being besieged, and finally leaving the Northern Azure Spiritual Academy's assessment in a bloody mess.

But after much deliberation, they made their own choice.

Facing the like-minded crowd below, Xiao Mu rose from the back of the Saint Winged Sky Tiger, and like a mountain king, shouted out the words buried deep in his heart.

"My boys, follow me!"
